Details:  The following entry has been added to the Feature Enhancements page.

Ability to Control Access to checkboxes for Printing Enhanced Conditions Internally and Externally

An update has been made to the behavior of the Print Internally and Print Externally checkboxes on the Enhanced Conditions tab in the Personas setting (Encompass > Settings > Company/User Setup > Personas).

Previously these checkboxes controlled the ability of a persona to print enhanced conditions that were configured as Internal or External in the Enhanced Conditions setting (Encompass > Settings > eFolderSetup > EnhancedConditions). In addition to the existing functionality, the checkboxes now also control a personas ability to select the Print Internally or Print Externally checkbox on the Condition Details window in the eFolder.

When the Print Internally or Print Externally checkbox is selected in the Persona setting, the persona can select or clear the corresponding checkbox in the eFolder. When the Print Internally or Print Externally checkbox is cleared in the Persona setting, the corresponding checkbox is disabled for the persona in the eFolder and cannot be edited.

Loan Folder dropdown List Now Displays as Expected When Using Encompass in AppStream

When using the AWS AppStream application streaming service to access Encompass, users experienced an issue where the Loan Folder dropdown list at the top of their Encompass Pipeline would flicker multiple times before they could select one or more folders from the list. This issue has been resolved and the Pipeline's Loan Folder dropdown list now displays as expected and it's easy for the user to select one or more folders.

Details: The following entry has been added to the Fixed Issues page.

Milestone Log Discrepancy Resolved

An issue occurs with milestone date/times jumping when creating/updating a loan via API and opening in Encompass or vice-versa. The root cause is that the API flow always uses PST time zone (regardless of client time zone) and converts to UTC time zone when saving. Whereas, Encompass stores in the client time zone (such as EST). For clients that are not in PST, this will manifest in milestone times shifting when working with loans between API and Encompass.

Fix

New loans going forward

Both Encompass and API flow will store times in UTC time. Encompass will convert the client’s local time zone to UTC upon loan save. API will convert non-UTC times to UTC on first save via API. Subsequent loan saves will use the UTC time based on the first save.

Existing loans

For non-UTC time loans, only the first save will convert and save the datetime to UTC in the loan file. All subsequent saves will only update the milestone the user is updating, save in UTC time, and retain original values of other milestones.

Example

Below is an example of how loans were being handled prior to the fix and how they will be handled after the fix.

Client time zone as reference: 6:00pm EST

Prior to fix:

  1. Start a loan in API.

3:00pm PST saves as 10:00pm UTC

  1. Open the same loan in Encompass.

10:00pm UTC converted to 6:00pm EST, displayed in Encompass user interface (UI)

  1. Save the loan in Encompass.

6:00pm EST saves as 6:00pm EST

  1. Update the same loan via API.

6:00pm EST converts and saves as 1:00am UTC

  1. Open the same loan in Encompass.

1:00am UTC converts to 9:00pm EST displayed in UI

After Fix:

  1. Start a loan in API.

3:00pm PST saves as 10:00pm UTC

  1. Open the same loan in Encompass.

10:00pm UTC converted to 6:00pm EST displayed in UI

  1. Save the loan in Encompass.

6:00pm EST saves as 10:00pm UTC

  1. Update the same loan via API.

10:00pm UTC saves as 10:00pm UTC

  1. Open the same loan in Encompass.

10:00pm UTC converts to 6:00pm EST displayed in UI
